    Abstract: A dual function roof vent having a main body having an air passageway extending therethrough and being sized and shaped to fit onto an opening in a roof where the air passageway defines an air to flow path between the interior and the exterior of a building. The air passageway also defines a vent net free flow area. A collar is attached to and extends below the main body, and the collar is sized and shaped to fit through the roof opening. The collar including air inflow gaps, and a fan mount, with an electrically powered fan mounted to said fan mount. The collar air inflow area, including the air inflow gaps, is within about 5% of the vent net free flow area defined by the air passageway.

    Abstract: A waste water separation vessel is provided having a wedge shaped body with an internal water containing volume. The body is configured to trap FOG and wastes within the body allowing water to pass through the body. At least one top facing access port to allow access to the internal volume of the body is provided and the wedge shaped body tapers outwardly from top to bottom to define a larger bottom area than a top area. The side walls include vertically oriented strengthening ribs which define intervening indentations, and each lower end of the vertically oriented ribs is connected to a generally horizontal beam which defines closed bottom ends on the indentations. When the vessel is buried in the ground the wedge shaped body and the closed bottom indentations interact with the ground to help oppose any buoyancy forces acting on the buried body.

    Abstract: A goose neck style vent has a base that registers with a surface opening of a building, and upstanding walls which form a portion of a curved air flow pathway above the vent opening. A top portion of the vent registers with the base to complete the curved air flow pathway and define an air outlet opening. The top includes a screen that hinges to cover the air outlet opening. A flapper valve is positioned across the curved air flow pathway and is hinged to the base at one end. The opposite free end of the flapper valve is urged to a closed position by gravity and to an open position by air pressure from below. An upstanding air deflecting baffle extends above the free end of the flapper, and limits air gusts passing through the screen and under the free end of the flapper valve.

    Abstract: An irrigation device comprising a moisture responsive barrier is provided. At least a portion of the barrier has perforations, at least some of the perforations are associated with a water swellable material. The perforations are configured to open as the water swellable material loses moisture and dries out and are configured to close as said water swellable material is exposed to and absorbs water, such as during a watering step. According to another aspect the irrigation method includes the steps of positioning a perforated barrier between a source of irrigation water and an area to be irrigated, wherein the perforations are associated with a water swellable material; exposing the water swellable material to water to cause the water swellable material to swell to close the perforations; and permitting the water swellable material to dry, to open the perforations, whereby the opening and closing of the perforations regulates the amount of irrigation water being applied across the barrier in the irrigation method.

    Abstract: A normally open backwater prevention valve for connecting to a sanitary drainpipe. The valve has an inflow end to connect to an upstream part of the drainpipe, and an out-flow end to connect to a downstream part of the drainpipe. There is a main body defining a flow through chamber extending between the inflow and the out-flow ends and a valve seat formed on an upstream side of the main body which faces downstream. A float assembly having opposed floats on opposite sides of the flow through chamber has a check valve assembly including at least a valve member located between the opposed floats. The valve member is sized and shaped to seal on the valve seat, and is operatively connected to the float assembly through a gear box. When the floats are down the valve member is in an open position and when the floats are up the valve member is moved to a closed position on the valve seat. Also provided is an access opening on a top of the flow through chamber, and a removable cover for sealing the access opening.

    Abstract: A fire stop device having a body having a through bore and the body being sized and shaped to be positioned within an opening in a wall. the body is made from a moldable a thermoplastic resin having a blowing agent suspended therein. The blowing agent has a predetermined gas release temperature and the thermoplastic resin has a melting temperature above the predetermined gas release temperature of the blowing agent; wherein when exposed to a fire the blowing agent first begins to release gas and the resin softens as the resin is heated until the resin is soft enough for the released gas to expand the plastic to form a foam to close said through bore before a char is formed on said expanded body by said fire. A method of forming a fitting having the blowing agent suspended therein is also provided.
